ArecRain (8 KP) rated Six Celestial Swords in Books
Jan 18, 2018
I am not quite sure how to go about this review. On one hand, the world was so intricate and detailed that, at time, I felt lost. There is a lot going on, and if you blink, you too will become lost. If you take the time to actually read and take in each word, you are rewarded with a rich world as well as mythology. Sometimes, the detailed flowery prose can be too much, and sometimes its just right.
Its hard explain this novel without giving anything away. If the description sounds like something that would interest you, then I suggest you try it out.

I just loved this book. I love all of Debbie Macomber Books. I would have read the other nine books that go in this series. The way I read her books I can get though a few of them in a week.

Some unique (Netflix Originals) programming, some classic TV shows and movies too. (2 more)
'My List' allows you to save shows and films to watch at a later stage.
Netflix are open to people sharing their accounts with others (within reason)
User interface is poor and sometimes you spend more time trying to find something to watch than you do actually watching something. (2 more)
A lot of the stand-up comedy is aimed at the USA audience which needs to be addressed as quite frankly the majority of them are just not funny!
Not on the same level as Sky when it comes to blockbuster movies.

Access to every song in itself library (2 more)
Customizable
Can be free
Depends on if you pay money
Spotify gives you the ability to listen to any song at any time, assuming you aren’t on Free Mobile. The app for the phone is pointless if you don’t have Preminum. You can’t individually pick a song and can literally only shuffle play. However, on computer app and Playstation app, it is a lot more free, all you have to deal with is adds. Spotify Preminum is only really worth it if you are listening to it on your phone, becayse it does give you access to everything.

Unnerving thriller with lots of different threads
While elements of this psychological thriller seem far-fetched, there's something ghoulish and almost Stephen King-like in its approach.
Following the narrative of Ed, the teacher recounts his childhood with his friends and the time they found the dismembered body of a young woman. In the meantime, chalk drawings keep appearing, and take a life of their own.
While the ending is startling and worth listening to the finish, at times the back and forth narrative from past to future becomes convoluted and can be hard to keep track, let alone concentrate. A good thriller, but with a lot of loose ends.

Good Western
A very good and enjoyable film, nevertheless it didn't quite hit the heights I thought it would after all the hype. I haven't seen the '69 John Wayne version but imagine this is a lot "grittier". It's a good story, the acting especially from Bridges as the old scruffy US Marshall and the young girl is superb to watch with a witty script to boot. It just felt a little short and lacking a bit more action to be the epic master piece it has been heralded as. A very good film indeed but not up there in the westerns dept with Unforgiven, The Outlaw Josey Wales.

OW!! That last chapter killed my emotions so hard. Why?!?!?!?!
This book was amazing and had had me wondering why I didn't read it sooner. It has been on my shelf for almost two years now, but I haven't picked it up.
Richelle Mead did it again. She tore up my heart AGAIN with absolutely no remorse. Now, I have to wait until I can get the next book which won't be at least until tomorrow, maybe even the weekend.
After I finished this, I started pouting and I even knocked over my chair.
I just can't feel anything else today...
Thanks a lot Richelle.

Dana (24 KP) rated Alice in Zombieland - White Rabbit Chronicles in Books

I really enjoyed this book. There was just enough action and romance in it. A lot of people may say that they don't like it because it has nothing to do with Alice in Wonderland (which is one of my all time favorite books) but it is the subtle hints at the characters from Alice in Wonderland that make it awesome. It is not a remake of a classic, but an amazing telling of a story with characters who may have some of the same traits as the originals. Alice Bell is strong, independent, courageous and faithful, just like Alice from Caroll's book. I highly recommend this book.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. This book had a lot of good turns and twist in the plot. Some of the things that happened I wasnt expecting but it was very exciting to see how everything worked out in the end. This book was all about forgiveness, 7second chances, bravery, family, and love. The different characters were great and well written. Each of them have there own story that winds them together. Savannah world gets shaken in a way she never expected it. This book made me tear up a couple of times.

Easily the most fun read I've had yet this year. The characters are all engaging, well fleshed-out, and very memorable. The numerous conversations held throughout the course of the investigation are all a treat to read. I often found myself grinning ear to ear with pleasure at the characters actions, in particular those of the 'temporary' secretary. I did kind of guess at the ending, but I think that had more to do with there being a lot of well-placed clues throughout the book than it did with it being overly obvious. Overall, an immensely entertaining book and easily one of my favorites this year.
